PRIORITIES of the POLISH PRESIDENCY Speech by Herman Van Rompuy President of the European Council to the TEPSA Conference at the College of Europe (Natolin Campus)
EUROPEAN COUNCIL THE PRESIDENT EN Warsaw, 1 July 2011 EUCO 39/11 PRESSE 223 PR PCE 14 PRIORITIES OF THE POLISH PRESIDENCY Speech by Herman Van Rompuy President of the European Council to the TEPSA Conference at the College of Europe (Natolin Campus) It is a great pleasure to address this timely conference on the state of European Union affairs and the Polish Presidency in particular. I am glad to have this opportunity to visit Natolin and I should like to thank for you the invitation. Last year, I spoke also at the College of Europe, but in Bruges. Having one Institute with two campuses in two countries is a great example of European cross border cooperation! And it is a pleasure to see so many students again today, from Warsaw, from Lodz and beyond! I am aware that it is a longstanding custom of TEPSA to have biannual meetings on current EU priorities, linked in particular to the (incoming) Council Presidency. A rich tradition! You will not be surprised, though, that my perspective on the six-month timeframe is different. As permanent President of the European Council, it could not be otherwise! Although I should nuance the word "permanent": it is for a term of 2,5 years… My job is to bring an increased sense of continuity to the Union's work at the level of Heads of State and Government. As you know, the European Council does not exercise legislative functions, like the Council which Poland will chair. The European Council, bringing the Union’s highest executive leaders around the table, is more like a strategy body. -

College of Europe and EUI to Offer Joint Master Programme
College of Europe and EUI to offer Joint Master Programme Two-year Master in European and Transnational Affairs is at the heart of updated framework agreement between the College of Europe (CoE) and the European University Institute (EUI). The two longest-serving centres of excellence in European studies have substantially overhauled their framework agreement, aiming at much closer academic and administrative cooperation. The new agreement was signed by EUI President Renaud DEHOUSSE and College of Europe Rector Jörg MONAR at a ceremony in Brussels today, attended by Tibor NAVRACSICS, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport. A joint master programme that combines the strengths of the two institutions is at the heart of the new agreement. The Joint Master Programme in European and Transnational Affairs, or ETNA programme, provides analytical insights and practical skills to understand how public policy is designed between states, international governmental organisations, and non-state actors. The programme, which should welcome its first students in 2021-2022, will enable young leaders to solve the challenges of our societies today as well as tomorrow. CoE Rector Jörg MONAR commented: “This agreement marks a significant further step for the cooperation of the College of Europe and the European University Institute. With the offer of this highly innovative joint two-year Master programme we intend to enable well qualified students to help states and societies to better respond to the numerous and increasing transnational challenges of our times.” EUI President Renaud DEHOUSSE said: “Combining our strengths, the European University Institute and the College of Europe aim at attracting tomorrow’s leaders. -
Rethinking the Role of the Federalist Ideas in the Construction of Europe
Rethinking the role of the federalist ideas in the construction of Europe (A historical survey) Éva Bóka, Historian, PhD, invited lecturer, Corvinus University of Budapest Abstract The idea of a peaceful world federation, based on the personal principle and the principle of autonomy (subsidiarity), has a long history. It developed in opposition to the sovereign states that pursued centralisation and power policy world wide. The European federation was envisaged as regional part of the peaceful world federation. European social organization was characterised by the dichotomy of sovereignty versus autonomy, and the European federalist visions developed in opposition to sovereignty. Thanks to these federalist visions international law and the international legal thinking gradually developed. The consctuction of Europe belongs to this history. This historical survey concentrates on the role of the personal principle and of subsidiarity in the federalist visions of Europe and in the development of democratic international law and human rights. Introduction Following the classical idea and model of peaceful world federation, social organization starts with the persons and their communities. The different communities (family, local community, province, state, federation of states, federation of federations of states) created by the association policy of persons could be imagined as concentric circles around the persons in the centre of their worlds. Constitutional state law, international law, and human rights create the harmony between the persons and these circles of associations. The idea of a peaceful world federation based on the personal and the autonomy principles is present in the works of all representatives of federalism among whom we find Aristotle, Althusius, Grotius, Suarez, Vattel, Saint-Pierre, Penn, Locke, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Voltaire, Tocqueville, Proudhon, Eötvös, Renner, Coudenhove-Kalergi, Rougemont, Brugmans, Monnet, Spinelli, Hallstein, Tindemans, or Delors. -

Free Movement and the Difference That Citizenship Makes,” in Journal of European Integration History, Vol.23 No.1 (2017) 85-101
Willem Maas, “Free Movement and the Difference that Citizenship Makes,” in Journal of European Integration History, vol.23 no.1 (2017) 85-101 85 Free movement and the difference that citizenship makes Willem MAAS Abstract Free movement in Europe differs from arrangements in other regional integration efforts because of the introduction of individual rights at the European level, later captured under the legal umbrella of European Union citizenship. In place of previous bilateral and ad hoc arrangements to manage migration between their states, Europe’s political leaders created a new constitutional category: the European citizen, with rights that EU member states cannot infringe except under limited circumstances. The development of European rights means that free movement in Europe can be com- pared with internal free movement in other multilevel political systems, such as fe- deral states, demonstrating the similar political logics at work in dissimilar contexts. One of the core values of shared citizenship is a project of equal political status, which is not always compatible with retaining local particularity. This is why central aut- horities in democratic systems almost invariably work to lower internal borders and boundaries, while local authorities often work to retain them, setting up potential conflicts. Introduction From postwar bilateral labour migration accords and the Treaty of Paris establishing the European Coal and Steel Community to the present day, the project of European integration has been deeply shaped by the politics of free movement, first of workers, then of members of their families, then (via intermediate categories such as students, retirees, and others) to all European citizens and arguably, via legislation and Court interpretation, to everyone living in Europe.1 Free movement reflects the aim of changing the meaning of borders – from Schuman’s aim “to take away from borders 1. -
Chronicle of an Election Foretold: the Longer-Term Trends Leading to the ‘Spitzenkandidaten’ Procedure and the Election of Jean-Claude Juncker As European
LSE ‘Europe in Question’ Discussion Paper Series Chronicle of an Election Foretold: The Longer-Term Trends leading to the ‘Spitzenkandidaten’ procedure and the Election of Jean-Claude Juncker as European Commission President Martin Westlake LEQS Paper No. 102/2016 January 2016 LEQS is generously supported by the LSE Annual Fund Editorial Board Dr Joan Costa-i-Font Dr Vassilis Monastiriotis Dr Jonathan White Dr Katjana Gattermann Dr Sonja Avlijas All views expressed in this paper are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the editors or the LSE. © Martin Westlake Chronicle of an Election Foretold: The Longer-Term Trends leading to the ‘Spitzenkandidaten’ procedure and the Election of Jean-Claude Juncker as European Commission President Martin Westlake* Abstract By focusing on the near-term campaign in the 2014 European elections analysts have tended to over-look a series of longer-term trends that were jointly and inexorably leading to the Spitzenkandidaten (lead candidate) process and to some at least of the subsequent structural reforms to the Commission. The paper argues that those longer-term trends continue and that the (s)election of Jean-Claude Juncker as President of the European Commission and the structural reforms he subsequently introduced are better understood as steps in ongoing processes rather than fresh departures. Thus, what will happen in 2019 will have been conditioned not only by 2014, but also by previous elections and previous developments, as considered in this paper.

FEDERALISM, BORDERS, and CITIZENSHIP Willem Maas
In Erik Jones, ed., European Studies: Past, Present and Future (2020) 14 FEDERALISM, BORDERS, AND CITIZENSHIP Willem Maas Most people studying Europe in 1970, when the CES was founded, would be amazed at the progress of European integration since then. Of course, the Schuman Declaration was 20 years old in 1970, and the ECSC had been supple- mented by the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) and the much broader EEC. But these Communities included only the original six member states (France, West Germany, Italy, and the Benelux), with the first enlarge- ment still three years in the future, and Community institutions were generally quite hesitant to take any actions not supported by the member states. True, the European Court of Justice had promulgated the principles of the supremacy of Community law, and of its direct effect. Even so, the number and importance of instances where member states were obliged to change their policies remained quite restricted. Federal aspirations Perhaps the quality of the change at work was more important than the quan- tity. Former Commission president Walter Hallstein observed in 1969 that indi- vidual Europeans were being affected by the Community’s legal system “more strongly and more directly with every day that passes”. He went on to point out that Europeans were “subject in varying degrees to two legal systems – as a citizen of one of the Community’s member-states to [the] national legal system, and as a member of the Community to the Community’s legal system”. This was a new experience for many Europeans, but it was “not a new experience for cit- izens of countries with federal constitutions” (Maas 2007: 21).
